Put z=eiθ, so dθ=dz/(iz), cosθ=(z+z−1)/2 and sinθ=(z−z−1)/(2i). Rational expressions in these trigonometric functions become rational contour integrands on the unit circle. The method is especially useful when the resulting denominator has a small number of identifiable poles. A pole on the integration circle requires a separately specified principal value or indentation; the residue theorem does not automatically assign an ordinary integral there.
